We used to live just a few blocks from LowBrau, and I’ve felt it walking home after a single drink. They don’t mess around, it’s especially true next door at Holy Spirits :)

I have a difficult time getting myself to use X, which I haven't done much for the past month or two.

After Jerry Reynolds was dismissed as Kings head coach in the 1989-90 season, he dropped into our fraternity house one night and hung out for several hours telling stories. It's impossible not to love Jerry.

Well, including tonight, there are 8 of those 24 games remaining after a 6-10 stretch to start. Ugh.

This is the best route for me, but I avoid this at all costs, which means taking Harbor Drive around the other side of the airport.
P.S.: That merge is barely safe for vehicles, and my car has decent speed and torque.

I disagree with this take. Whether using olive oil or butter, you can avoid the browned edges by managing the heat. It also helps to use quality cookware with even heat distribution.

If you keep the heat down and avoid placing the egg on a surface that's too hot, you can achieve the same outcome (an egg without burned/browned edges or bottom).

Pretty wild that Peter Thiel would try to cozy up to the fake, hard right MAGA Christians. Thiel (an immigrant) and his husband Matt will always be the first people they toss under the bus.

Thanks for the additional info, I didn't consider the morning deliveries. It's a shame we didn't install pneumatic bollards, maybe that's something the Downtown Partnership could tackle and take ownership. That would place control in the hands of the local business district.

Honest question, how does this save money? I thought the primary cost was the initial investment to install the bollards. If it's a significant labor cost to install and remove daily, why not just leave them permanently installed? What am I missing?
